CALL FOR PAPERS (Reminder - Deadline Approaching)
Theorising Practice, Practicing Theory
A postgraduate training workshop
Tuesday April 23rd, 2013
Hosted by the Centre for Research in Film and Audiovisual Cultures and the Media, Culture & Language Forum at the University of Roehampton in London.
(partially underwritten by the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies BAFTSS)
This postgraduate-led training event will explore practice-as-research and contemporary conceptions of the relationship between practice and theory in screen media studies (and related disciplines). Bringing together scholars and postgraduate students who are conducting, supervising and examining practice-as-research projects, this workshop will also serve to build and strengthen a network of scholar-practitioners.
Drawing on the experience of some of the leaders in the field, we will explore how the practice-as-research landscape is developing. Eight years after the launch of the AHRC-funded AVPhD (audiovisual PhD) initiative, what have we learned?
What are some of the common issues faced and approaches being taken? How do artistic and academic aims clash or converge; how are creative and critical concerns balanced? What other disciplines are we drawing from and what theoretical and methodological frameworks are we using? How do we understand audiovisual practice in a research context as distinct from other kinds of audiovisual practice?
We invite 20-minute paper proposals from postgraduates and researchers at all levels who are engaged in audiovisual practice-as-research. Please submit 300 word abstracts and a short biographical note to Holly Giesman at [log in to unmask] by March 18th, 2013.
Proposals that integrate practice work but require additional presentation time will also be considered. Additionally, there may be some limited time and space for presentation of practice work outside of the paper presentations. If you would like to present practice work please include details of this in your proposal (i.e. how you would like to present it, length, format, technical requirements).
Consider the environment. Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
